Brant Fell

Walked on 01/04/2005

Start point: Brantfell Road, Bowness-on-Windermere (SD 406 967)

Bowness-on-Windermere – Post Knott – Brant Fell (OF) – Bowness-on-Windermere

Distance: 1.2 miles     Total Ascent: 110 metres     Time Taken: 1 hour

Weather: Grey with drizzle, 11oC.

It was a damp and dreary day today, but still nice to get away from the crowds in Bowness up to Brant Fell after a half-term visit to ‘The World of Beatrix Potter’; the fresh air more than made up for the lack of views.

This walk follows Wainwright’s Brant Fell chapter in his book ‘The Outlying Fells of Lakeland’, page 34.

The start of the path to Brant Fell is also the start of the Dalesway between Ilkley and Bowness. That was the last time we saw the dog lead, so if you find it up there..
